French car manufacturer Peugeot may put its amazing little concept car called the BB1 into production.

The new car, which is 8ft 2 in length, features a lithium-ion battery powered drive line, with a two wheel electric motor.  The car will feature bicycle style handlebars instead of a steering wheel and passengers would sit on a saddle rather than a seat.

Peugeots director general Jen-Marc Gales said that the company would make a decision in the next three to four months on whether the tiny four-seater car will be put into production.  He continued by saying that price was an important factor, with the electric vehicle weighing about 650 kg (1,432lb), it will depend on whether mass can be kept under control.

It is expected that the BB1 will not come cheap, due to its carbon-fibre bodywork, but should sell for less than 12,000 euros (£11,140).  With the lightweight design, Peugeot believe that the range of the car would be about 75 miles.

Given the size and green qualities of the car, it could come under quadricycle rules which would mean cheaper insurance and taxes.
